Organic Corn, Soybeans and Cotton Pricing Methodology

Summary

The Risk Management Agency (RMA) completed research and development required by the 2008 Farm Bill into whether or not sufficient data exists upon which RMA can determine a separate price for organic crops, and if such data exists, to develop a pricing methodology using that data. Beginning with crop year 2011, as a result of this research, RMA began issuing an organic price for three commodities priced under the authority of the Commodity Exchange Price Provisions (CEPP)--corn, cotton and soybeans.
